We flew to Maui next, as that’s were my niece was getting married. Maui is known as the “Valley Island” but often called the “playground of the wealthy”. There are definitely lots of expensive accommodations here, but Maui caters to all types, including budget conscious.

The island of Maui features an abundance of beaches, especially along the west coast. Lots to see in Maui, with a volcano in the center of the island, a wonderful drive to “Road to Hana”, lots of waterfalls, great snorkeling opportunities and lots of lush green valleys.

I was strapped for time in Maui due to the wedding, but still had time to see some of the highlights of this gorgeous island. Hope you enjoy the photos!

We started our Maui journey – at the airport. After picking up our rental car, we took the highway that takes you from Haleakala to the West Maui Mountains, which is a beautiful valley! On the way is Iao Valley State Park.
